We, at St. Andrew’s celebrated the European Day of Languages on Wednesday, 28th September.
All classes were involved in this event from writing the date in a language other than Spanish, being greeted in a different language to a cross-curricular lesson that was related to Europe. One of the lessons was a game, based on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". It reinforced some important facts related to Europe.
Every S1 pupil had a homework task to write a story about the linguabat. Those less able to write at length drew a bat poster and add words and some sentences in a variety of languages.
Staff throughout the school participated in their own departments in a variety of ways and in several languages.
The main event was a huge buffet, made by the Higher Spanish class, containing foods from lots of European countries. A big display that included posters, flags, pictures, regalia etc and some S5/6 pupils dressed in national costume (or at least parts of some outfits) and they all looked great!
We played music from selected countries and some pupils sang along.
A quiz PowerPoint that one of the pupils had made up was displayed on the TV screens while staff and pupils tasted some of the food on offer in the crush hall.
We had a really good time.
